Nathan Emmerson (Earth-6)


 * "It's not easy to survive this world. Many choose to give up. It doesn't become any easier. You just have to become stronger."
 * -Hayden to Nathan.

Nathan Emmerson is a 18 year old boy, a child of the prophecy and a witch. He first appears in "Welcome to Blakewood", stumbling upon the rest of the group on their first night in town.

Personality
Nathan is defined in the prophecy as the dreamer drowning in shadows.

Nathan is generally shy, calm and a loyal friend. Despite his shyness, his magic skills and general care for most members of the group have led him to be looked up to by the girls, becoming very fond of him. He is shown to be incredibly protective of the children of the prophecy.

Nathan's experiences during his short life have marked him deeply. However that never stopped him from treating others with respect. As a result of his past, Nathan has low self-confidence and anxiety about specific things in his life.

He has shown to be naive at the beginning, trusting people like Ian easily, which led to his rape. Nathan also shown to not like conflict as he was very passive when dealing with bullying from Brad and his group, specially when he decides to run away from Blakewood just to not have to deal with everything that happened.

However, his personality quickly starts to change once he meets the girls and accidentally murders Brad Shostack.

After the accident, Nathan feels guilty about what he did, constantly thinking about telling the truth. However, after what happened with Ian, Nathan gets even worse due to his depression, trying to commit suicide.

It took a while for Nathan to come to terms with all that happened to him but he partially accepts it with the help of his friends.

In the end, Nathan shows how protective he his of those closest to him when he gives his life to save his younger brother, Sam Emmerson.
